California is reopening outdoor sports venues such as Dodger Stadium for limited fan capacity in April, but indoor venues such as Staples Center will be further out.

But sources tell Sports Illustrated that the hope is to have a limited number of fans "a few months from now, in time for the playoffs."

The NBA playoffs begin in mid-May with the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers both certain playoff teams.

More than half of NBA teams are now hosting fans.
